Wendy & Frank Melanson Collection An extraordinarily aesthetic specimen of herringbone native silver from Mexico. Herringbone silver from Batopilas is relatively common. What sets this specimen apart is its complexity and perfection of form. Near the base of the crystal, you can see that a single wire of silver serves as the base of growth for seven additional silver wires, all of which measure over 1 .5 cm in length - Simply beautiful.
